For those who might care to relive their youth (or for those youngsters
who'd like to see what the fuss was about) there is the DTSS emulator
project, described at:
http://dtss.dartmouth.edu/
The original DTSS was apparently built on a GE-235, which ran the BASIC
and ALGOL systems, and a Datanet-30 to handle telecommunications (and
presumably the SIMON CLI and line editor). Six or seven years ago a
project was undertaken to revive DTSS from old listings; the listings
were transcribed into machine-readable form, an assembler was written in
TrueBASIC, and the resulting code run on a GE-235 emulator (also written
in TrueBASIC).
The simulator is available as Windows or Mac downloads. John McGeachie
once maintained a web-based version, but it has been off the 'net for
several months and I don't know its status.
